Calendar Madness
How would you react if the head of the country where you lived proclaimed that each week was going to be ten days long, and that only on the tenth day, would you be permitted to rest from work?

Calendars are an important part of family ancestry research, especially if you are researching an ancestor who used a different calendar than our modern day Gregorian calendar, either for religious reasons, or because the leaders of their country switched calendar systems during their lifetimes.
This Family Ancestry Calendar page leads to interesting information about different calendars and their use. Just double-click on one of the hyperlinks below to begin the search.
